How does it work?

With OctopusPro, you can capture enquiries online and follow them up directly until they are converted into bookings. Your bookings can be also seamlessly captured online, either as new booking requests or as instant bookings, with or without a payment. Your team can efficiently look up resource availability and assist customers by phone, and your mobile workforce and service providers can choose to accept or reject new booking requests from their smart phones or tablets, using your App.

Auto and manual confirmations

Automatic booking confirmations are convenient for many businesses since they save time for everyone. In addition, OctopusPro gives you an option to switch to a ‘manual confirmation’ mode when you need to. When this mode is enabled, your field workers will be asked to review every new booking assigned to them. They can accept it, negotiate new appointment details with the office/customer or politely reject the requested appointment.

Work on any device

OctopusPro runs on any device, wether it’s your desktop PC or Mac, laptop, tablet or smartphone, or any device that has internet and a browser. OctopusPro App is compatible with both iPhone and Android devices.
